# Spline Control Points

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page covers the **Spline Control Points distribution node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It derives positions from a spline's control points — with random variation or even shifting along the curve.

This distribution can output positions along a spline. The number of matrices generated and their start positions depend on the number and position of the splines' control points. The output positions can be varied randomly or moved evenly along the spline.

On the left is the output of positions on the control points of a flower spline. The matrices can be arranged on a different spline. A random movement is also possible, as can be seen on the right.
